Research on the Compactness of Lunar Soil Simulant Based on Static Cone Penetration Test
The shear strength and bearing characteristics of lunar soil have a strong connection with its compactness. The compactness varies significantly with depth and has an important effect on engineering activities on the lunar surface.

Oxygen from the lunar soil by molten silicate electrolysis [PDF]
Accepting that oxygen, rather than gigantic gems or gold, is likely to make the Moon's Klondike, the extraction of oxygen from the lunar soil by molten silicate electrolysis has chosen to be investigated.

Enabling lunar and space missions by laser power transmission [PDF]
Applications are proposed for laser power transmission on the Moon. A solar-pumped laser in lunar orbit would beam power to the lunar surface for conversion into either electricity or propulsion needs.

Surface Sampling Depth Prediction on the Far Side of the Moon Based on Contact Indentation
On 2024 June 2, Chang’e 6 landed on the edge of the Apollo Crater on the lunar far side and conducted surface and subsurface sampling. This study used instruments on the lander to determine the mechanical parameters of lunar soil and provide a basis for ...
